The Honorary Consulate of San Marino in the United Kingdom, under the presence of Dr Paolo Rondelli, former Captain Regent of the Republic of San Marino, proudly hosted a ceremony to honour its most recent cohort of interns, presenting each with a Certificate of Recognition for their contribution to the Consulate’s mission. Dr Rondelli, in his remarks, mentioned that while the event celebrated individual achievement, it also underscored a broader commitment: supporting the next generation of leaders and reinforcing the enduring relationship between San Marino and the United Kingdom.
Consul Bragagni, in congratulating each of the interns, mentioned that the internships at the Consulate of San Marino are more than professional placements; they are opportunities to cultivate curiosity, diplomatic awareness, and cross-cultural understanding. Each intern brings fresh perspectives, energy, and ambition, enriching the daily work of the Consulate while gaining invaluable exposure to international affairs. Their contributions, whether in research, public engagement, protocol, or administrative support, strengthen the Consulate’s ability to serve both communities.
The Consulate’s staff proudly recognised these young professionals and reaffirmed its dedication to nurturing talent and encouraging pathways into diplomacy, international cooperation, and public service. Supporting interns in developing their careers is both an investment in their future and in the future of the bilateral relationship itself.
San Marino and the United Kingdom share not only historical ties but also mutual values: respect for democratic institutions, a commitment to cultural exchange, and a belief in the power of collaboration. The Consulate’s internship programme embodies these principles by offering a practical and meaningful bridge between the two countries. As interns carry forward the skills and insights gained during their experience, they become informal ambassadors for the friendship that links San Marino and the UK.
The ceremony, therefore, was not merely a celebration of past contributions but a recognition of the potential of young people who will shape the next chapter of international engagement.
The Consulate extends its gratitude to each intern for their dedication and wishes them continued success in their professional journeys. Their achievements remind us that diplomacy thrives not only in grand negotiations but also in the everyday efforts of those committed to understanding, cooperation, and service.
